Notes
Finding American-style pork spare ribs in Australia is very difficult as it’s not a standard cut in this country. As result we had to use baby back ribs. Baby back ribs are cut from the area where the ribs meet the spine which makes then a smaller and a leaner cut. If you prefer your ribs less fatty; stick with baby back ribs however if you don’t, you may need to hunt around for a butcher that can provide you with an alternative cut.
